Trip to Folkestone 1926

<< < (2/2)

smiler:
    I remember in the 50s a shop in the front room of a house on Castle road. I think about 100 yards from the top on the right going up.

castle261:
The shop I remember - was in Castle road - opposite the `steps` around - 1934 - Smitherman`s - I never shopped there - as a lady
opened a shop further up Castle Road on the other side - a Mrs. Doughty. I wrote about it on the old site. My mother sent me down
there, just before it opened - Mrs. Doughty only had a few tins on the bare shelves `We dont open until Saturday `few more goods
then` she said - I was sent back there - again - later -  It was in an ordinary house with very steep steps - as I remember.

The back of this photo says "On the road to Folkestone June 1st 1926"
I think that I can identify my mother, aunt and grandmother. As my grandmother ran a shop at the time I wonder if this was a lady customer's day out from Castle Road/Luton Road?
